Them tines look like Kverneland tines Steve?
Great job mate, lovely day for it and two of me favourite tractors. P6 always sounds lovely and the Cat looks like it runs nice and clean too. That trailer is genius😀
@blackhouseengineering5386 thanks, it'll be a lot better when i get the steering axel and brakes on, the hydraulic bed is super cool 👍
Lovely video Steve! And well explained what your doing. Like you say” that p6 just purrs when she working away🙂 There is something about siting out in middle of a field eating lunch, everything just taste better!👍👍
@Dave.w-ev9qn1962 yes and look's better, thanks 👍
Brought back wonderful hard labour when I was in my teens mid eighties - Happy days wish I could go back when life was so much fun helping mum and Dad. we used to grow maris piper, king edwards, pentland crown, Wija potato and i cant remember the others. Never had the nice equipment those days just a beat up Leland 262 Tractor, MF135x and international 444 (bastard to start)
@simongleed yes I'm afraid the day of the small family farm's have all but disappeared when family all pulled together 😪👍
@@FenlandCrusader Very true sir.
Love seeing the old tractors out working
@christopherrolfe4543 thanks keep looking there's plenty more to come 👍
Nice machine. There are detailed videos now on Yt how to fix the pinion and over center clutch. Seems to be a common issue with these after years of use. I think your D2 could use a set of upper rollers :)
@SuperMAZ007 cat d2,s dont have any top rollers , yes you're right on the video's but we know how to it's having time and there's a lot more important jobs to do first, 👍thanks
Hi Steve fantastic video as always as a keen vintage tractor and farm machinery fan it's lovely to see the old machine doing the job they were made to do. It's great you take the time and effort to make these videos. It's so different from today's modern farming which I do never seem to get the time to enjoy it properly it's all push on to the next field and especially when the weather is not working with you. Thing's are easier now and not the hard work as back then when your Tractor's were the latest thing !! The P6 Major sounds great power harrowing and the D2 what a lovely tractor and doing a nice job drilling the wheat no compaction issues there !!! Fantastic thanks again 👌👍
@jasonsmith5487 thanks Jason I'm pleased you like it just reliving my misspent youth 😉 keep looking there's plenty more to come 👍
Nice job with your vintage machinery
@stephenheyes4324 thanks Steve 👍
Great video Steve nice to see these old lasses at work and doing a good job at that ,and i do not think you could beat having your meals in the field and watching the wildlife at the same time .happy memories . All the best Alec.
@alecward-e3v thanks Alec just reliving my misspent youth 😉👍
hi steve looks like you should turn the ram barrels up side down so no water or sh++ can get into the cylinder i know theres no oil that side of the ram and they blow air out as you lift trailer up but i wouldnt want all the weather getting in rams
@orkidknog4147 i know what you mean but all the old loader rams are that way round, so I'll stick with it, it won't spend many days out 👍
there nothing like the sound of p 6
@petergardner2334 thanks your quite right very unique sound 👌
Lovely to see these old tractors working , a credit to your skills to keep them running . Thanks for making these videos .
@atlas6243 thanks no problem pleased you like them 👍
Any chance the area in your videos is around Wigtoft , Looks very familiar when the camera did some screen shots 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
@michaellynskey7124 yes mate Spalding side of the A17 👍
Did a lot of work around that area 35 years ago, Donington Surfleet Quadring Bickers & Swineshead, Probably all changed now to how it was then,🇬🇧🇮🇪.
@michaellynskey7124 what sort of work?
Work for Tim Hardy, Lime spreading Contracting for R&T liming covering Lincolnshire Northamptonshire & Norfolk, Also built Tim some new 12 ton spreaders & 20 ton trailers & Low loader, at the Beeches Weston Hills.
@michaellynskey7124 i thought i recognized the name i had a spell with Tim possibly mid eighties
Good sounds from the fordson really sweet and then to see the catapilla man doing his stuff 👍
@matthewshaw5792 thanks Matt 👍
That is an excellent seed bed, the E27 P6 sounds amazing too., who would have ever thought that Perkins would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc. You have some really nice soil in the Flatlands too.
@whathasxgottodowithit3919. thanks and let's hope the name stays and not get dissolved under the cat name 👍
Another great video - thanks, Steve. Brought back memories of standing on the back of the drill making sure the seed and the fertilizer kept feeding into the drill and shouting at the tractor driver when the seed started to run out - usually in the freezing cold! Happy days...
@kenshort8901 thanks, I prefer to sit on the seat it's warmer, you can see why the old boy's used to have army coats on can be bloody cold on the back 😅
@@FenlandCrusader The tractor driver had a cab (canvass with an open back) and a nice warm engine just in front of him. Standing on the drill, the wind used to cut right through you. And if it was damp, the fertilizer would always clog up.
Great video , really appreciate the description and demonstration. It was a grand day too . 👍☕
@stephenrice4554 thanks Steve it was cool but a lovely day as you say 👍
Great to see a d2 5u at work. Your right a pinion drive isn’t an easy job to do on a U series, the j series was much more easier to adjust 👍
@ahblue8873 thanks it will be a long time before it gives in if i live long enough I'll get it done 🤣👍
Excellent video Steve 👏👏 that is some very nice land you have there 👍 the old P6 sounds a treat on the power harrow and a very clean dry engine 👌never driven a D2 but had a go with a BTD6 and as you say crawlers excellent machine for drilling 💪 looks like you have side loaded track machines a few times 🤔😁 with the added weight of the loader on the P6 just about the stage where some wider front tyres in order 😄👍
@bobpaterson1845 yes bob they could be a bit wider but when I get the 4 wheel drive on it don't think i need to worry about it anymore just need the power steering 👍
Had forgotten you said about 4wd 👍
Great seeing the d2 and e27n both at work ! Great video again look forward for next week's video !
@johnd7288 thanks John 👍
I liked the sound of your Perkins Diesel, it almost reminded me of my dads Standard Fordson back in the early fifties.
@@TheGrimReaper1 thanks yes it's a lovely sound 👍
Great video Steve once again! Very enjoyable seeing your vintage machinery at work- a great reminder of the days working on farms in the 60s! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ashley 👍
@ I was interested to see the markers on your drill. I only did a small amount of drilling spring barley with a Massey drill pulled by a Super Major and it had no markers fitted. Were they optional or had ours just been removed? I’m sure your drilling is infinitely more accurate than mine was then! I think the seed came in 12 stone bags at that time…..!
@AshleyVincent-o5n thanks, usually the markers are on the back corner of the foot board and the man on the back would look after them as with the seed and making sure the harrows have swapped side's and checking for blocked coulters, I've put the hydraulic systems on so I can work the drill from the tractor, unlike my other drill the man on the back had to put it in and out of work as well 👍
@ ah yes I remember riding the back of the drill also and checking coulters and the harrows. I don’t think we had markers though- they probably cost more money when the drill was bought!😂
Great video again Steve.
@@Casterton-Vintage thanks Brian 👍
Another excellent video! Great to see the D2 and Massey Harris seed drill - brings back many great memories!
@charleshart6992 thanks Charles im just reliving my memory's 👍
Just noticed this at 12.15 am, only downside is nothing to watch tomorrow morning 😂
@gnw6365 hahaha that's easy watch it again 🤣 👍
the E27 sound sweet
@@summerfarmestates thanks
remember them woking round north kyme back in the day
@summerfarmestates they were every where over here in the fens early morning you could hear the donkey's starting up for miles away 👍
Great vid, what’s the copper pigtail on the reservoir tank, I thought the return oil goes back in there ?
@olinqua1 good question, so in order to tip a pettit trailer right up when we are beeting the tank and lift have to be full to the top the only problem with that is oil leaks out the felt dust seal under the lift lever so I put it fat O ring in place of the felt so to keep all the oil in to the top, so it's got to breathe somewhere so i made the copper pipe pig tail, works ok when hot but when cold and oil is thicker it sometimes leaks out of the pigtail 👍
@ I figured it was a breather where does it return instead?
@olinqua1 the tip pipe returns down the same pipe every thing is inside the the lift
@@FenlandCrusader many thanks, look forward to the next video 👍🏼
This brings back fond memories. The transmission sound of the Major ploughing in 1st high gear. My late Father called it "ploughing gear" Thanks for sharing your video
@gareth2673 thanks I'm pleased you like it, you need something to trigger the memories of the good old days it keeps me motivated 😉
Going steady but top quality stuff as per normal steve
@matthewshaw5792 thanks Matt 👍
Great video , learn something every time 👍
@stephenrice4554 are bless you well done if it inspires other people to do and get on as i do it'll be mission accomplished 👍thanks
Great video Steve never realised the E27N didn't have that much oil in the back end could fit a bigger oil tank or not to tip a bigger trailer ?
@jasonsmith5487 well let's be clear, the backend holds the same amount of oil as the later diesel majors the lift unit sits on top of the backend with the pump and oil all inside a compact unit hence the after market oil tank to give it more capacity, we'll i wouldn't call a 3 ton pettit trailer a big traile, but ofcourse the lift was initially designed as a 3point linkage system and the hydraulic systems came later 😀 but I understand stand what you're saying 👍thanks
I’m really enjoying your vids , great work, I’ve got a p6 waiting in the wings to be done , but like your good self always something else on ! , I was wondering if you could give me some pointers ? , I’ve got a smith unit on a tvo E27N , the hydraulic never worked properly since I’ve had it , they lift fine , with power , but won’t stay up as soon as neutral is selected , did take the unit apart a while back , cleaned out , seals , and general check couldn’t see anything untoward other than a loose relief, spring, so sorted that out and reset it and thought that was the problem put it back, but the problem still there , any ideas ? Would be much appreciated
@hartleyhore9040 it sounds like the main ram seal is weeping failing that the lift valve is not seating properly after you've powered up, my p6 sometimes drops when doing roadwork with implement on the back and i suspect a bit of somthing floating around getting trapped under the valve but if i work the lever vigorously it clears and holds up, good luck 👍
Thanks I will investigate 👍
Nice video , I have two E27N's I converted to coil ignition a few years ago which has transformed starting and running . I managed to get the mag coils out & conected the H T lead to the back of the rota shaft . Alot of people would frown at the idea as its not orignal but I use my tractors for log splitting & did not like the cost of mag rebuilds , I realy enjoy your vidieos & have recently subscribed.
@atlas6243 good man thanks for the subscription pleased you like what I do, and keep up the good work with the old tractor's 👍
Great vid, can you buy the manual wind on hose unions still ??, I’ve got some around somewhere but not enough
@olinqua1 yes mate, parquet hose hydraulics on ebay 👍
There's several companies on eBay doing them
@@FenlandCrusader yep, I found them now, thank you🫡
looks like one ram is leaking around where it screw in where the dirt seal is in. power steering is going to be a must
@orkidknog4147 thanks i think what you can see is the grease i put on it to stop it squeaking when I pulled it out to machine it cos it was bone dry
its going nicely
@petergardner2334 thanks Peter 👍
Another great video! Looking forward to seeing it in action!
@AshleyVincent-o5n thanks Ashley you will 😉
👍vid I own a jcb 530b it's a great machine wot model it yours has it been sound
@nickhill3362 it's a 520x4 Leyland powered one of the first for its time would've been a big step forward with 4x4 still does a good job today I'd be lost without it 👍
What are the extra welded on cranks on the linkage crosshaft for?
@andrewplumb6189 forward mounted ridgers and the likes tie rod's to the front for power lift 👍
Great to see the old stuff being back to use. When I was a teenager my dad had a tef 20 and a Ford nan 8n with a horndraulic front loader on it , it worked well enough for the time that it was but glad to be advanced As things are today 😅
@johnt7232 the new stuff has definitely got its uses but we're losing the skills of father's and grandfather's day's 👍
What happens if you adjust the speed drop screw on the hydraulic leaver
@geoffscott-coomber1408 thanks I'll try it cos you never know 👍
Those spreaders take me back, we had a similar land driven muck spreader called a Bloor, it was ok until a linked snapped on the floor chain. (Good for chicken muck or very light cow muck). When that happened when it was full or nearly full had to be seen, had to fork it all out, take it back to the farm and then try to sort out the twisted chain covered in FYM.
@TheGrimReaper1 hahaha I know I've been there a few times and we still use them, glutton for punishment 🤣 thanks 👍
Excellent part two - great progress!
@@charleshart6992 thanks
Just a thought but are the rams going to be powerful enough to lift under load as looks like new one s are displament ram they not as powerful as ones with seals on bottom of roods .always look forward to your videos keep them coming
@robingenge548 thanks well the only thing I can say is that the rams are bigger than the originals so should have plenty of lift 😉
Cannot wait to see the e27n loading muck ! We had a trip loader on a super dexta with no live drive but it was better than a hand fork ! Great video again I all ways look forward to your videos !
@johnd7288 well done and thanks 👍
Oh I do look forward to Saturday mornings and your videos - you never disappoint! Another interesting one. 👍 It will be great to see her working and bring back more happy memories of my youth... We had an old Fordson with a winch fitted for use in the woods. I rarely drove it and always got confused because the clutch and brake pedals were the wrong way round! I guess you got used to it if you drive it for longer periods.
@kenshort8901 thanks Ken, and I can't wait either 👍
Good video as always Steve 👌 being of an age where all hydraulic pipes were done that way before health and safety took over I'm like you I liked that system if there was a problem get on and fix it and get back to work 💪 also helluva lot cheaper 🙄😄 P6 has such a distinctive sound when idling 👍 remember the old parallel loader tines well they were quite soft and bent easily but also straightened quite easily with a long pipe put over them 😂 👍
@bobpaterson1845 yes hopefully i won't bend any, thanks 👍
Surprised to learn that the E27N backend lacked oil storage capacity. My experience was with Majors, and it never seemed to be a problem with trailer tipping on them, unlike Fergusons. I thought the backend of the E27N was of a similar size to the that on the Major, but there must have been something different?
@dellhell8842 the oil on e27n only in the lift not from the backend, hence the tank 👍
